Funny Medical Intern Stories

A medical intern was asked to draw blood from a patient. He was so focused on finding the vein that he didn't notice he had bumped into the bedside table and knocked over a glass of water. The patient and the nurse couldn't stop laughing. He was really embarrassed but learned to be more aware of his surroundings.

Sure. One funny intern story is about an intern who was asked to make copies. Instead of using the copy machine properly, he somehow managed to print out hundreds of blank pages because he thought the 'test print' button was the 'copy' button. It took everyone a while to figure out what had happened.

There was an intern at a design studio. She was asked to send out some design samples to a client. She accidentally put the wrong address on the package. When the client called to ask about the delay, they all realized what had happened. The intern felt really bad at first, but then the team worked together to quickly correct the mistake and send the samples to the right place. And now it's a story they all laugh about.

Yes, there were a few. There were some stories about how medical teams tried to communicate with Ebola patients who didn't speak the same language. They had to use a lot of gestures and creative ways to explain medical procedures. One time, a doctor was trying to show a patient how to take a particular medicine and ended up mimicking a very strange animal to get the patient's attention. It was a bit of a comical situation, but it also shows the challenges and the ingenuity of the medical teams in the face of Ebola.

There was an intern who worked in a very competitive environment. The other interns were constantly trying to outdo each other in a negative way. This intern was excluded from group projects and meetings just because the others saw them as a threat. They felt isolated and miserable during their internship.

There was a medical assistant who was trying to show a new piece of medical equipment to a patient. But instead of demonstrating it properly, he got all tangled up in the wires and ended up looking like he was caught in a web. The patient couldn't stop laughing, and the assistant joined in too, and then they both calmed down and the assistant finally managed to show how the equipment worked. Well, after a lot of untangling first, of course.

There was a case where a nurse was taking a patient's temperature. The thermometer beeped and showed an extremely high temperature. The nurse panicked, but then realized that the patient had just had a hot cup of coffee right before. Another time, a doctor was examining a child who had a toy stethoscope and kept trying to 'examine' the doctor back, which was really cute.

Another common one is having a really bad supervisor. The supervisor might be very critical and not offer any constructive feedback. Instead, they just point out mistakes without guiding the intern on how to improve. For instance, an intern might be working on a presentation and the supervisor just says it's bad without giving any tips on how to make it better.

In a medical office, a man walked in with a sock stuck to his foot because he had used super glue to try and close a small cut on his toe. He had to be very carefully removed from the sock while the doctor and nurses were trying hard not to laugh out loud.

Sure. There was a patient who went to the doctor complaining of a strange pain in his ear. After examination, the doctor found a small Lego piece in his ear. The patient had no idea how it got there. Turns out his toddler had put it there while he was asleep.
